The Haggis Box — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

Was expecting something more substantial, meatier and chunkier, aren't Scottish supposed to be big eaters? How is something smaller than an icecream spoon supposed to be a hearty meal. Traditionally it's served in a stomach with the stomach for the stomach. Unless this is a snack food 🤔 or just a sampling. How do you guys get big and strong and lift logs and have fought eachother in the highlands for so many centuries eating only a spoon of mashed offal? Obviously they were hungry back then, and it made people angry enough to fight wars in the highlands. If only they had figured out to make the plate of haggis bigger. No one is fighting anymore, and if I'm not mistaken there is not great shortage of offals, turnips and potato's. How can you as a people claim so much pride over your national food, if it's so freaky tiny in the plate there and hardly amounts to anything. Maybe you guys ought to rethink the whole thing and when something is insanely cheap to make literally actually feed people with it properly.

Yeah honestly, am one of those food freaks with a big appetite and can seriously eat alot of food... Still.... It tastes okay, but now I am going to have to look into making one myself with a real stomach and perhaps actually will try eating the whole thing......

......so the next day I passed by a butcher and brought a whole haggis. Couldn't get the one wrapped in stomach or intestine. Still it was quite easy to cook just boil. And even though it looked alot, I ate the whole thing. A Delicious and very satisfying meal. Yeah I think that was what I was after. Feeling like my stomach just got stuffed 😁. It's not that difficult to eat a whole haggis really, when your...

I can't even begin to describe how amazing the Haggis is here. I stumbled accross it as I was strolling around, I had foolishly purchased a kebab from up the road and seated myself in front of the Haggis Box to eat it. When I looked up and there in front of me stood this green box, like a shining light from Valhalla, it instantly made me regret my kebab.

I walked over and introduced myself to Pete who informed me about the Haggis he served and how it was made. I promised him to return the following day in order to try this magical food that can only be found in Scotland.

True to my word I arrived the next day and was suprised to see that it was not Pete but Laura who was now inside the box serving the Haggis. She was ecstatic to see me and had heard from Pete I would be arriving. She served me the Haggis poured the whiskey sauce on top and even convinced me to eat Haggis with the traditional Scottish drink of Irn-Bru 😉

Suffice to say it was amazing, had I known that this box existed when I first arrived in Edinburgh I would have eaten here everyday. Please do yourself a favor and visit this amazing little shop and experience Haggis the way it was meant to be eaten, I promise, you will not be...

Small cafe inside the Scottish Storytelling Centre on the Royal Mile. I had cake and the Haggis. The Haggis itself was extremely dry, crumbly, bland and lacking in flavour - almost comparable to cardboard or polystyrene, and fell apart when the waitress placed it on the table. I've never had Haggis crumble before my very eyes before. I was quite surprised given the positive reviews. I definitely recommend the Auchentoshan whisky & mustard sauce, as it is rich in flavour and is what gave the Haggis any sort of moisture or flavour. The Neeps and Tatties themselves were hot and quite nice in flavour and texture. I also had some "Fly Cemetery" cake, which was quite delicious. Service was good. The gentleman at the stand was helpful in helping me decide a cake, and also, thankfully, recommended me the Auchentoshan whisky & mustard sauce. It is a nice, quiet and peaceful atmosphere. As it is inside the Storytelling Centre, you can read about some traditional Scottish tales. The venue also hosts occasional community events. Whilst I wouldn't recommend the Haggis, I would recommend going there and relaxing with a...
